Previewing To An External Monitor
Previewing a project is not limited to the preview panel in Adobe Premiere Pro. ere are several
options for an external preview. is oers numerous advantages. e entire video frame can
be seen at full size, allowing for more detailed work; the project can be sent to the type of screen
which will be the intended primary viewing source, such as an NTSC or PAL monitor or an ATSC
High-Denition monitor, allowing an accurate representation of the picture for purposes of image
manipulation, particularly color correction. It can be easier for display of a work-in-progress to a
client or a group of people, etc. In general, it allows you to see your work as closely as possible to
how your audience will see it.
All preview options are found by clicking the Output buon under the preview panel, then choosing
“Playback Seings . . .”
From there, you will be given a dialogue panel; external preview options are found in the “External
Device” drop-down menu in the “Realtime Playback” box.
For most projects, the preview can be sent as DV via 1394 through a DV camera or deck to a
monitor, through composite or S-Video cables/inputs. is is ideal if working in a DV or standard-
denition project, but it is not ideal if working in HD.
HD material in either version can be previewed using an HD preview card, such as AJA’s Kona (Mac)
or Xena (Windows) cards, or Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink or Intensity Pro cards.
Preview is accelerated using a Mercury Playback Engine supported NVIDIA graphics card (GPU). e
GPU can accelerate video playback with heavy eects to real-time if the card is powerful enough,
depending on the footage type and level of eects. is can be very useful when working with high-
denition footage like AVCHD. Playback is also enhanced by OpenGL support with some eects.
e Windows version of Adobe Premiere Pro can also use the graphics card to preview on an
external HD monitor if the card has a native HDMI output port, or through a DVI output using a
DVI-to-HDMI adapter. For this, you must use the GPU’s driver soware to set up the output as a
Windows display. en, you should see that display as an option in the External Device drop-down.
Exporting Footage From Adobe Premiere Pro
Exporting a sequence can be done in several ways.
Direct Export
In CS5, sequences or selections can be exported to any format directly. Choose File>Export>Media,
then select the desired format and preset. Make adjustments to seings as desired. Press “Export.”
e video will then be exported to the location you choose.
Export Via Adobe Media Encoder
To export a completed movie le, go to File>Export>Media, and then choose the desired format
in the Export Seings box. Click “Queue,” and then Adobe Media Encoder will open, and the
project will appear as a selection in the Source panel. From here, the output format seings may be
changed, or multiple format seings may be added.
When encoding is started by pressing “Start Queue,” a movie le in the desired format will be
created; multiple les will be created if multiple seings selections are made.
Exporting To Aer Eects and Adobe Encore Via Dynamic Link
Save time during the authoring workow by sending sequences directly from Adobe Premiere Pro to
Adobe Encore, where they open immediately without intermediate rendering, using Adobe Dynamic
Link. From within Encore, open Adobe Premiere Pro sequences and then use the Edit Original
command to make a change to the sequence. Any changes you make in Adobe Premiere Pro are
automatically reected in Encore. Encore also reads chapter markers in the sequence. (e Edit
Original command is also useful when modifying a media le in Photoshop CS5 Extended.)
An Adobe Premiere Pro project may be sent to Adobe Encore or opened as a new composition in
Aer Eects by going to File>Adobe Dynamic Link and choosing the appropriate selection. e
chosen application will then launch and the Adobe Premiere project will appear in the Project panel
of the application. Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro and Aer Eects is only supported in
the CS5 Production Premium or Master Collection; it is not available with the stand-alone versions
of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or Aer Eects CS5.
